Dutch start trials of flexible floating solar panels which move with the waves

        November 29, 2021 Dutch News | The Netherlands | renewables: solar

Lighter, flexible solar panels that bend in challenging sea conditions use less material than conventional solar panels and are thus cheaper to install. A TNO project is testing 3 different 50-kW setups to study the effects of wind and waves and will install a commercial system by 2024 in the North Sea, ideally as part of an existing wind farm.
